congrats wowhead bot 😛
Yeah its a maghar team, alliance has a dark iron team
maghar and dark iron death knights
definitely new
when you click her
"cant you see im trying to meditate!"
very angrily
oh yeah I recognize that name
they added a mailbox
iirc people speculated it was a Worgen Monk... for some reason
thats been there
^
Yes
yeah
both sides got a new team for their allied race
Also on live lol
that is new
worse version of the blacksmith only one
lol, they programmed the wrong animation into the priest mobs in tiragarde
instead of casting smite, they punch smite people
The dark iron & mag'har team were already in last build
Found a big model, destroyed version of the bridge I showed the other day https://i.imgur.com/VFSjjg6.jpg
"We'll teach you our peaceful ways BY FORCE"
theres also a morally grey ™ option in these alliance quests
can execute wounded horde soldiers if you want
they moved lasan
Yeah its in the new war campaign phase
will probably move back once the quests are completed
finally, some confirmation
on them being paladins
aaaa I want seals back
Same
ugh... that Flash of Light animation, please no
those two are from the book right?
also
has the inside of bwonsamdi's temple always had these?
I'd rather have the Beacon heal animation over that random light
it just looks like they took the new Light of Dawn animation and put it above the Flash of Light target at a slight angle (and alternating which side it'll fire down from)
Jaina badly wounded... Mekkatorque on the brink of death... What went wrong, Genn?
The attack on Zuldazar was a success, but the Horde caught up to us as we retreated.
Dont think thats new
Yeah works more now that Jaina is a boss
shandris has her other ugly armor on
certainly better than the leather mess she got for BfA
It's not ugly enough
It's just outdatdd
When can this one exist ;3;
new lich king VA is such a downgrade
it is 100% not Michael Mcconnohie
we could tweet and ask
like, Im happy hes getting a different voice but
not nearly as good, they should have started that last xpac
TFW night elf dark rangers are getting new pokes, but normal dark rangers arent
stuck with the generic nelf pokes like high elves still
pokes? Wat
Dark Ranger Voice Over Patch 8.1.0 in World of Warcraft Battle for Azeroth Tides of Vengeance
But... Pokes
you dont know what poke jokes are?
No, i'm sorry
Like after the 7th time
Oof
The build missed you more
Im praying they put out a little patch to fix the "must have bfa installed" bug
otherwise we're waiting another week to test
they have to
they plan to start raid testing monday
night warrior?
yeah, for the warfront
seems the war effort system is changing
no longer has all the quests up at once, just three or four
probably to rotate between warfronts
That set is so low rez
It looks straight out of TBC or something
May be unfinished and missing 3D parts.. optimistically
Yeah I meant the rest.
How did you get the night warrior customization? Is it unlocked by default?
Oh my
The legs seem to be clearly missing 3D plates.
complete the tyrande story
I missed so much stuff
Did you do it already?
Nah, neither side can test the story yet
PTR accounts dont have BfA access
so you cant switch zones
...den how do you have the night warrior thingy?
o
forsaken and nelf NPCS got added at the warfront table
Or maybe to get our boi Gelvin back?
wheres that at?
Broadcast text
Oh my o.o

At the top

That is honestly

VALTROIS VOICE OVER
SHE IS DOING SOMETHING!
Kekless
Useuseuse
BAine is at Zuldazar during the raid it seems
Oof
and we disguise ourselves iwth the help of Valtrois to sneak into somewhere- a prison perhaps? Pretending we are taking Rexxar there
Perhaps that is when we break out Ashvane
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) dungeon sex when
Cromush has a LOT of voce lines
baine's continuing the trend of being hilariously inept after getting mad
Nice
Is cromush still alive?
been a hell of time

Ok
Love this
This text is pretty good
Seems Nathanos and Malfurion are warfront commanders at least
Deathstalker Commander Belmont Voice Over Patch 8.1.0 in World of Warcraft Battle for Azeroth Tides of Vengeance
They....totally kill off one of the only notable regular undead
hes part of the warfront, Im pretty sure
meaning might not be dead
- hes forsaken
theyve got valkyr
Hm...
I hope so. I am not against loss, but he is truly one of the only named ones in a higher position of power.
There we go, the set looks much better with a proper beard, that's literally what it was designed for https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/411187738520322050/497212734836965376/unknown.png
Is Tidalcore new to this patch? I didnt read anything about it prior
Tidalcore
probably, funny how it doesnt use sanguicells t hough
Hydrocore of 8.1 probably with the breaths being the sanguicells
355+ Gear from WQ is juicy too
Id assume the scaling is all in place now since there is the 400+ gear
where would you even get tidalcores from?
oh, I see
it's just to make cores obtained pre-8.1 useless for new recipes
similar to the currencies they did for legendary upgrades
they just replace the old drop with the new drop
More models in the 8.1 Raid Viewer. You have most but some other ones in there
Grong and Laminaria both have more models in there too
for their trash
or adds
hooray
hot
void elfs have sexiest transmog
Is Silvermoon still broken?
Yes
@tulip sun vore porn full hd
wut
vore me daddy
So there’s 4min of Toki VO. There seems to be a questline or two, and then a fuck load of WQs.
So this means tortollan WQs will finally see some variation
Is it annoying?
No
It’s Toki, the old man turtle
And it’s shorter length VO
Liadrin also has VO for WQs. Seems to be a mix of honorbound and invasions
So that’s nice
Mixing up some of the honorbound VO will be nice since it’s just been nathanos and talanji
toki from hearthstone 🤔
lmao
The one who does the make Loh go stuff
There’s also some maghar VO for invasions and for WQs related to them. Seems to be a mix of horde and alliance
Oh. Might be regular orc
Cromush also has invasion VO
So that’s nice
This is interesting
Seems like this might be how they allow people to go to islands to explore instead of rush to kill stuff
WAIT
Find a map and use that to go on a different type of expedition
REALLY?
Maybe
That’s sort of what the text implies
Unless it’s mission table stuff
Which seems unlikely
There’s only two
One for ungol ruins and one for havenwood
They could also just be test items
Are there even any blood mages around that are blood elves anymore?
Hmmm
'Blood mages' are just normal mages.
some of them uses blood magic
Oh the neutral blood mages.
thems not aligned with the horde so they wouldn't be in SMC
There's also a gnome blood mage that does the same.
Ahhh I guess there's not that many. Cool
Fellas
I have a question about the new rep system
Let's say I have one character that is exalted with everything in Alliance
If I move it to the horde, and make a new character in the Alliance, will that new character have the exalted reps from Faction?
Yes, somebody's has used it to instantly get maghar after unlocking dark iron
Not sure how it works for other stuff tho
yes.
OK mak
and Sky
All alliance things cannot exist on the horde
and vice versa
When you faction change, they are automatically changed to match their faction counterparts
this includes mounts, achievements, reps and gear.
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/343484923253882900/497386518373990400/Wo_WScrn_Shot_100418_133300.jpg This is a meme on it's own
turns out you can indeed lose warfronts
You thought you couldn't?
it is
but it can happen
What's the loss condition? Let horde nova into the fort to kill the general guy?
OK if you wait
If everybody plays prot warrior maybe they'd be bad enough for it
in the base right
and do not upgrade at all
and just let the horde flood their units in
or alliance right now
they will kill liadrin
something I noticed in the warfront is that you dont really kill the enemy commander they just kneel in defeat but since the big window of victory appears you cant really see it
Well if they were dead you couldn't come back and fight them again next week!
Talk about being masochist
you mean like the raid bosses we kill every week?
or the world bosses we kill every week.
Not canon 🙂
or the dungeon bosses we constantly kill
^
You know how many time the stormwind stockades have been cleared?
and nah I did see Etrigg's healthbar go to 0 and he does just 'die'
Everyone are masochists
but all this is pretty moot
cuz
it's not canon yet
on who wins and who loses, who dies and who gets out
etc
One time I was fighting orc boi and the tank pulled him out of the base at a quarter health and it reset him
I mean yeah their hp bars got to 0 but instead of falling into the floor they just kneel
weird
People tried to vote kick the tanks because they didn't know who did it
Alliance 🅱ias
puts tinfoil hat on maybe thats how we can guess who dies and who doesnt after all the warfront business

no u
I mean if blizzard killed every "grandpa/grandma" character khadgar and katherine would die soon
tbf i'm fine with him dying if Muradin dies for parity
and yes I know khadgar isnt that old but his body still is
he is a young dadgar
In comparison on how his looks
He looked worse back then you kno
oh yea he did
i still say jaina is sexier than modera
Jaina is sexier than 99% of people
she has the perfect curvy athleti8c type of a body thats why i love her so much
they fixed the you dont have BfA bug
They did?
Does that mean belf heritage armor?
Where is
Elune?
It has changed
Hmm
Looking forward to this when it's done
i wish ysera was still alive i miss her sexy model
I think that night is elune thingies
seems like this might be the instance version
and the invisible wall is the warfront barrier
after doing the quests, ill check the world version
K
It already got fire extinguised
cmon sylvanas, even stratholme is still burning, yet you let this fire extinguish
I mean, it could mean that Elune herself extinguished the fires
good point
And that eclipse might mean
Stratholme is still burning due to magic, sylvanas had no reason to keep it aflame
its already dead
Can you kinda put it at the max resolution possible for desktop?
that explains how the moon got dark
Thing is
When trees burn they don't always die, and a tree of that size wild take some serious work to burn to the core.
So eventually druids should be able to restore it
But I think some people would be upset if it goes back to normal because it kind of defeats the purpose of burning it
Raising Delaryn is a quest
It would mean to represent hope
Is the Tyrande quest there?
both are resurrected
Alliance quests currently cant be done, since they cant complete the Kings Rest dungeon quest
which is part of the war campaign, for some reason
So alliance do get a reason to go to kings rest after all?
Cool I guess though a bit late
Maybe in 8.2 we'll get a reason to go to uldir
tyrande kills one of the two valkyr
then we run away
but delaryn and sira are successfully raised
she looks badass
I feel bad for these night warriors, went through all that pain, just to get killed by us
So Horde flees?
uhhhh - unimplemented cinematic
from tyrande and malf, yes
because they kill a valkyr
2 yes
not sure if they are ingame or cinematic quality
we shall see
my guess is the 2nd one is an actual cinematic
but its also possible
that the first one is the cinematic at the end of the night warrior scenario
and this is how the horde sees it
2 much spoiled by brozzard
since both sides are there for the valkyr slaying it seems, thats probably a cinematic
So night warrior and horde campaign for darkshore start at the same time?
no
night warrior happens first
tyrande shows up as a night warrior
and the sky is dark
i think all of that is a part of the night warrior stuff
and theres a cinematic at the end
Ah
which is shared with the horde via a questline
huh
so invasions happen in 1/6 zones
and what happens is there is a set of WQs for each faction
if its an alliance zone, the WQs are about repelling the horde
for the horde those WQs are about attacking the alliance
part 2 of the war campaign isnt in yet
Is Tyrande's Ascension avilable in PTR?
lasan does VO for some of the assault WQs
Tbh I felt the expansion was a little weak at first but they seem to really be coming on strong in 8.1, a lot of cool stuff by the looks of it
Hope it plays as well as it sounds!
eastpoint is under horde attack
the incursion's actually really cool
and greystone
advances the story in the zone, and adds some nice teamups
proudmoore's claimed the ashvane foundry
draenei, gnomes, and worgen are working together a lot
found an iron star
blackrock maghar and a goblin with a laughing skull mask prepping a star
horde is bringing in reinforcement
I wanna see the Alliance stuff in Zandalar
theres a fucking zepplin
just tiragarde atm
they do lol
uh
Oh my
theyre fighting back
alliance side has quests
There is Uraka!
and the assault is about fighting off the horde
both sides do the incursion
and destroying the airship
And crap
alliance take out the airship
Oh this is the incursion
Do we really use 2 valkyr?
I thought this was just outdoor story stuff
yea they were both working on raising the undead
Brynja we know dies
if we had only used 1 we wouldn't have been able to raise delaryn or sira
the other one had to help fend off malf and tyrande
@dense plover What is the name of the Valkyr that died
brynja
I just did it
all of these horde areas are WQs for the alliance
Signe is still alive?
ye other one still alive
theyre loading the iron star with motherfucking azerite
thats the best kind of death machine
someone in another discord said it, maghar are the most valuable group the horde's recruited
their tech alone is amazing
combine it with azerite, woof
pretty much every major questing hub is being assaulted
boralus itself is too
goblins own the keep, basically
aboms and coldwitches own the civilian area i nthe south
two zepps and the big ariship
Is next expansion going to be WoW: Industrial Revolution?
So how do the incursions work lorewise?
Like who wins it or does it just fade away and end
idk, dark iron tech is cool @uncut vault
horde kill a lot of Alliance and Proudmoore forces, but the Alliance takes out their airship
This is fun
didnt think the horde recruited the dark irons 😛
Tyrande uses DH anims, interesting
heres hoping other classes can use glaives soon
Maybe global usage is just a traditional elf thing and that's why illidan chose them
Who else would really need them? Monk I guess could do it
But they'll just sit on the back all the time
I don't see why any dual wield class can't use glaives
would be so cool to actually have some one handed weapons that sit on back that don't look like crap
So to clarify...
Tyrande becomes the Night Warrior and still gets her ass kicked?
until malfurion saves her, correct.
sigh
Kyra
Oh, they fixed the BfA bug?
Thats ur
it*
Sorry
Honestly, I know they will die
But I wish they'd live and continue in the horde as character.
s
Even without sylvanas
We will all die 
val'kyrs die, then sylvanas dies, then helya takes over the horde
I like Val'kyrs
IT sounds like the world quests are getting a lot more fun
horde is the perfect tool to commit genocide.
and incursions
it's a match made in heaven
Is Zandalar the same way? Or is it just KUl'tiras that has everywhere under attac
attack*
Im assuming you didn't watch the reveal of incursions?...
It is not just incursions though
We can only see Tiragarde in game right now, but it'll be like invasions
WQs have the same feel
as in a cycle in the six zones
which is just the BFA invasions
Mhm
The world quests above are a part of the incursions...hm.
Yes
I forgot that invasions had WQs.
like invasions
-ignore me-
Anyway
Still fun
I kind of want to go play it oin the ptr...
But eh
I really like that Lasan is so involved too
So to unlock night warrior skins you do the event/quests as alliance and then go visit a barber on your nelf right? But do you have to play as a nelf to unlock them or can my human run them and my lvl 21 nelf still get the skin?
Also I assume dk and dh strictly just can't use them right?
it unlocks account wide, so any character can unlock it, then use it on a nelf
we dont know if demon hunters or death knights can use them yet
“uwu tyrande arrived moments too late i will join the people who murdered me i am forsaken”
@uncut vault
Weak.
I’m so tired of Blizzard’s weaksauce tiptoeing around the Forsaken and free will.
People don’t work like this unless they’re being mind controlled
Me too
Why did the risen soldiers at lordaeron turn on their own kin?
During the bfa event
because those werent forsaken
those were mindless skeleton contructs sylvanas raised
They desperately want the Forsaken to seem mildly relatable.
Free will in forsaken is a lie
So they were just slaved undead then, alright
And honestly
No, they were constructs
Tyrande became Night Warrior and still got her ass handed?
no minds, just animated skeletons with direct commands
Why do death knights get to return to their faction of choice but forsaken are locked horde?
What's the point of becoming a Night Warrior as well
dark rangers have literally always done that
Explain that to me Port
Nah yeah I understand how undead work
Like ghouls and skellies and all that stuff
Nice
It doesn't make her invinceable
Akr said she got her ass handed
she doesnt whatsoever, we do
So the power boost is noticeable?
Nathanos and the player get eclipsed, and her and malfurion gang up on us
I mean, Ive never seen Tyrande drop a moon on people and completely remove light from an area before
well, its both
area is eclipsed by Elune
and her affect turns the screen almost entirely black
So it is
basically the effect from the KJ fight
no voice lines yet
there wasnt a build today
its the same stuff as last build, they just hotfixed a bug
Oop
What about Belf Heritage?
Wait wait
Port
Didnt she use to make the fight area around us dark in the End Time?
Yeah, Wowhead did an article about the similarities
end time dungeon is basically this night warrior stuff
So is the end times actually eventually going to all come true or was that alternate timeline stuff?
Who knows
Got closed
Like those events faded away from the timeline when we killed Neltharion
Signe kneeling over her fallen sister....rip
3 left to go
@uncut vault So did Nathanos get his ass beat, or did he just flee?
Got his ass beat and flee methinks
It is kinda sad
How did Nathanos survive an encounter with both Tyrande and Malfurion?
Poor valkyr
I hate seeing people dir in general e.e
Sylvanas could commit genocide on children
And kham would be okay with ot
Wait...
Sure...believe that.
....You were okay with she burning the tree
I never said that, lol
Where there could be lots of children
And you are still loyal to Her
Like even Rocket has some good traits because he is loyal to Horde
I don't need to be loyal. I am a human viewing the game
Sure sure
My characters have their own reasons
We just need to kill those 3 boys
We just need 3 more valkyr death
And Sylvanas will be defeated
The final ones will die reading sylvanas a last time I bet
Rezzin*
I wish they could be capable of leaving sylvie
If they do she dies
Ye
It's not like Sylvanas has bound them to her and if she leaves she OOF then
Them
I know why they wouldny
But
I like valkyr
And the horde having a few as unique npcs I like
sweet
So do Maghar appear outside that Uraka and the iron stars
Oh them shoulderpads
they got the Garrosh walk now @uncut vault
well, Cromush is the main Horde dude for all the incursions
Ya
I could tell that from his voice over he would appear a lot
Uraka appears as a blackrock
Any others?
there was a green orc in darkshore who was wearing some mag'har heritage items
not sure if that was discussed
Hm...
Well
I suppose Uraka is a win
Hopefully she becomes promineng
Love blackrock orcs
the mag'har I leveled for the heritage armor is a blackrock orc :)
I am doing laughing skull, but blackrock are really nice
Uraka's model and outfit are just great though
I hope they use the darkshore tools more in future storytelling
dedicated storylines to unlock cosmetics and small little player choices
Yesss
I assume Nathanos offs Sira if you dont?
And I really hope if they do more warfronts
They do this story leading up to them
I havent tried not killing her, but yeah likely
since you tell Nathanos you wont do it
I was worried she would die so soon
I like unique npcs like this
Did I miss something though? What is with Delaryn looking at her hand.
I mean in the end they all gone die
delaryn is practicing some shadow magic I guess
she's looking at the magic as it forms in her hand
So traitors Delaryn and Sira are going to be the commanders
I suppose Tyrande and Maiev will be ours
I mean, not confirmed, but I would say at least Sira
Malfurion and Nathan is are all but confirmed
Nathanos*
Nathanos' voice lines heavily imply him fighting malfurion as commander
doesnt take two, we raise a bunch of dark rangers with just brynja in the previous quests
its a matter of tyrande being there trying to block it
Nathanos and Sira
Oh
So Brynja and the nameless one dies?
ok
No, only Brynja dies
sira literally says she should have been there, and when shes risen says shes too late
she just wasnt able to stop 2 valkyr, nathanos, and the player before they successfully raised the two night elves
well i mean
Sira and Delaryn's last memories are amplified...a lot when raised.
i think she means late like we killed sira
Sira about Tyrande not saving her
Delaryn about Elune not aiding them
^
Makes you enraged enough to turn to the other side
Sira was saying as we fight her that 'she' was coming to finish us, and her dying words are that she should have been there by then
then we start the ritual, and tyrande arrives
yeah
so tyrande was too late to save her from death
but honk was applying tyrande was too late to stop nathanos from raising them
which is false
Just not able to
Oh, yeah no shes there during the ritual
she just isnt powerful enough to stop nathanos and the player
shes why it takes so long
yes
bunch of dark rangers
Just rangers?
one of the quests is to go kill and raise a bunch as dark ranghers
and then we go and raise delaryn and sira (right after we kill sira)
and people call it free will
both sira and delaryn seem to be very stable for being forced into undeath
It is free will though. Kinda. From what we see, they are not forcing Delaryn and Sira to fight. THEY CHOOSE to. They choose to come with.
What happens after it is bull crap
compared to the two undead raised during the campaign
Oh god kham
Their last moments, their last thoughts are amplified a lot.
Could you just listen to you?
its likely they are being controlled or something
Honestly
forsaken dont gain control of their mental faculties that fast
like with raising amalia stone
Stop being so nice for a bad state
I am just making an explanation from everything we know.
You are seem to forget
there are two possible explanations
Ok?
they are not mind controlled
And tell me, are you killing them because they want?
brynja explicitly says that she needs willing souls to raise
Them fighting alongside us is not forced.
No, if they fight you back it's not willing
What else they can do?
They could just give up and die again
But would they allow them?
We can't know that can we if it did not happen?
All what the night elves have in their minds
But they willingly join the Horde.
Are "elune and the alliance forsaken us"
Their last emotions are seemingly amplified.
So when they amplify that
Their last emotions being Tyrande failed to save me, and Elune abandoned us.
Obviously they want revente
And that is a fake sensation of free will amplified by rage
I feel like your ignoring my explanation.
I'm not
I find it bullshitting like how Blizzard forcefully wants us to love undead
We need the Scarlet Crusade back
This is very interesting indeed.
you dont have to kill sira
"Free will" isnt that an interesting topic, peach?
they even give you a choice
And in the end she still dies to be raised
course nathanos kills her if you dont
yeah, and?
if you dont want to play horde, dont
Choices dont matter if the result is the same
horde are currently ruled by a warchief who is undead
I hope that the night elves dark rangers stay as horde. Diversify the forsaken troops.
So stop acting like if it's a good thing
its impossible to make them matter
Makore, deal with it. Seriously, at least you can decide not to take part in killing o fSira
i enjoy raising undead
You get to kill a dark ranger and forsaken alongside Saurfang
Gotta experience both sides.
I will enjoy getting rid of all undead
just because you dont like something, doesnt mean no one does
then go play alliance
thats literally their faction story
I don't like killing Lyana, but it is part of the story, and I don't got a choice.
for like, 3 expansions
News for you, creeper head, I do play Alliance
So I will play through it and experience it
whats with the name calling
...
why are you being such a jerk?
Your profile pic
its a slime
Is q creeper head
its not a creeper
and still
its clearly intended as an insult
you need to take a break
youre coming off as very aggressive
Cant take a break with the undead acting like if the world belongs to them
i mean
thats literally sylvanas' bit
kill the alliance
or at least make sure they fuck off from kalimdor
It is the forsaken's time to shine
^
Sylvanas is dumb and mean and I like the writing of it right now
they havent had much story since Wrath
Personally I think the ebin blade should take her out as a precautionary measure
I hope it just stays in BfA and after that they all die along her leader
You know that won't happen
Its a surprise that either the Ebon Blade or the Argent Crusade doesnt act
Silver Hand actually
A lot of the ebon blade who are former horde found shelter with Sylvanas
ebon blade is made of undead
They wouldn't give two shits
Where's the scarlet at when you need em?
Argent Crusade is part of the silver hand now, ebon blade doesnt really care and arent doing much better than her
They live on killing
can you kill what doesnt live?
We see death knights leading scouts and outposts
